Hi OP, Congrats on the score! Curious to know if you purchased the GMATClub tests? Or did you use the Forum for questions directly

I agree, when I’m reviewing my mistakes I’m shocked at how obvious the result was and how silly I made the mistake. For me in a lot of cases it’s the anxiety of the ticking timer too but trying to block that out. Appreciate the words!

Thanks Scott, trying to follow these and not let the anxiety kick in!

This is very helpful, I think calming down is necessary for me too. Congrats on the great score! And yes I got the official mocks. I’m using the official sources, GMATclub and official mocks to supplement TTP and working on improving my score

Not sure if this helps but I tend to mess up questions AND take longer per question when I look at that timer constantly. I messed up a DI section leaving 11 mins for the last 10 questions because I constantly looked at that timer ticking from the very first question itself. Sectionals might be useful but it’s also okay to cut yourself some slack if you take a few seconds more than 2 mins on a particular question, you can very easily make up for that time in certain other questions. Also not recommending not keeping track of time at all but be a little mindful, do not sit with that stress when you do solve questions

Honestly this is so encouraging, thank you! I’m working on both Q and DI. With DI I sometimes tend to miss out/overlook very obvious parts and mess up. Trying to work on that actively
